After the premiere of "The Truman Show", there was a huge wave of discussion on the Internet.
Even though not many people have watched this movie, those fans who attended the premiere could not suppress their excitement and exaggerated the excitement of "The Truman Show" on the Internet.
"This is simply the scariest movie I have ever seen! For the sake of a show, the whole world is depriving a person of his world, including his parents, wife, and friends."
"There is no moral bottom line, no law, and no human rights. Just because many people are paying attention, we will take away a life!"
"This is a great movie! Thought provoking!"
"Actually, I'm a little envious of Truman's life. I couldn't help but cry in the last scene of the film. The outside world is too dangerous. I'm used to the plots that are set around me. When it turns out to be unpredictable, my dear
Truman, are you at a loss?"
"This is an excellent film, there is no doubt about it, but the depth it expresses also makes people feel particularly distressed."
"If the movie had stopped abruptly when Truman's boat hit the wall, I think it would have been better. There was no door and no outside world. That kind of deep despair could definitely elevate the movie to a new level, and it would be completely different.
It turns into a tragedy. What’s the scariest thing? Even if you know the world is unreal, you can’t do anything about it.”
"On the top floor, I was stunned when I saw the boat hit the wall. Apart from the artificially controlled day and night in the town, there was a false blue sky and white clouds. This made me amazed from the bottom of my heart! Is Li Qing the screenwriter of this movie?
?I really want to crack open his head and see what kind of brain power can produce such an amazing script!"
"I think the ending of opening the door and walking out was pretty good. When I saw Li Qing bowing and smiling at the end to say goodbye, I had a particularly deep feeling. No, or it would be more appropriate to say moved."
"The unknown is the most attractive. The unknown of the universe, the unknown on the other side of the mountain, the unknown of how far this sea extends, and the unknown of tomorrow are all the most attractive. I believe that this kind of attraction is the most attractive to anyone.
It’s hard for people to resist. I understand Truman’s choice, so, dear Truman, go out and see the outside world!”
"I'm really happy to see this movie in advance. I'm a second-year junior high school student. After watching this movie, I thought about it a lot when I went home. The next day I discussed this issue with my class teacher.
, I said, are everyone around me acting? I still remember the confused look on the head teacher’s face, haha, now that I think about it, I think I must have looked particularly stupid the past two days.”
"Upstairs, actually, we have been acting!"
"Children, cherish the time you have now. When you enter society, you will understand: life is like a play, it all depends on your acting skills!"
Discussions about "The Truman Show" are everywhere on Weibo and forums. This is certainly due to the 500 moviegoers, but without the trolls secretly deployed by Phantom Technology, "The Truman Show"
"The hot topic of public opinion may not be as hot as it is now.
With the help of countless "movie watchers", almost the entire Internet space is filled with "Truman Quotes", and for a while, people's appetite was whetted.
Soon, a week passed and the new year came.
On January 1, 2001, "The Truman Show" began its global theatrical release, covering more than ten countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada.
Except for a few countries that have special local film protection policies and refuse foreign films to be released during the New Year period, "The Truman Show" has basically completed its global release in the general sense.
But in various parts of the world, in addition to local movies, there are also many foreign movies competing with "The Truman Show" for film scheduling, including some powerful films from Hollywood.
The existence of these movies has greatly suppressed the film schedule of "The Truman Show". In this case, if you want to increase the film schedule, you can only rely on your personal strength to break out of the siege. Only when the attendance reaches a certain number, the theater will
Line will naturally increase the schedule for "The Truman Show".
But this hope is not great. After all, it is a movie shot and starred by Asians. Therefore, the main battlefield of "The Truman Show" is mainly in Southeast Asia, especially Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea.
Thailand and other places are supplementary.
The arrival of the New Year's Day holiday has also completely activated the entire film market. Under the strong publicity and unrivaled reputation of "The Truman Show", countless movie fans rushed into the cinema waving money.
However, compared with the joy and laughter of "Westward Journey", many audience groups after watching "The Truman" are not as broad as the former ones. The audiences who like "The Truman" are basically adults in their age group and have the ability to
A complete three-dimensional view and the ability to think independently. The older you get, the deeper your understanding of this film becomes.
To put it simply, this is not a movie suitable for the whole family to watch together, because young audiences do not have the patience to watch this kind of drama. This has led to the fact that another film "Arhat", which has also been promoted equally well, has become a big hit.
popular.
The promoters of this modern martial arts masterpiece starring Hong Kong martial arts actor Zhao Zidan claim to have invested hundreds of millions of yuan. Whether it is special effects, plot or cast, it is one of the best in the country, and it is also joined by Industrial Light & Magic, the top special effects company in Hollywood.
, judging from the previously played trailer, this is definitely a movie suitable for everyone to watch.
In fact, judging from the mainland box office statistics on the first day, the popular "The Truman Show" and "Arhat" are evenly matched. They are the only two movies with a daily box office of over one million on New Year's Day.
For the movie, the former had a cumulative box office of 1.69 million, while the latter had a box office of 1.53 million. The difference was only 160,000, which surprised many people in the industry.
However, after careful study, people found that the film schedules of the two are quite different. "The Truman Show" has only 20% of the film schedules, but "Arhat" has a full 33%!
"The Truman Show" was still able to counterattack despite a lack of 13% of theater schedules. Although this was due to publicity and word-of-mouth, it is enough to show how strong the quality of "The Truman Show" is.
Therefore, the next day, the film schedule of "The Truman Show" increased slightly, reaching 23%, while "Arhat" remained at 33%.
Obviously, this extra 3% of film schedules are squeezed out from other movies.
In fact, the box office performance of the movie "Arhat" is not bad. Nowadays, any movie with a daily box office of over one million basically has the qualifications to become a hit.
However, when the movie box office came out the next day, many people in the industry were shocked.
"The Truman Show" has a box office of 2.03 million, with a total box office of 3.72 million.
"Arhat, the Dragon" has a box office of 2.19 million, and the cumulative box office is 3.72 million.
The box office unexpectedly remained flat!
"Arhat, the Dragon" seems to be about to achieve a decisive comeback?
Not only the media was in an uproar, but even industry practitioners were surprised.
"The Truman Show" and "Arhat" have been considered by many people to be the two protagonists of the New Year's Eve since the promotion.
"The Gate" will definitely crush "Arhat" all the way, because the "Westward Journey" was so terrifying, and the horror that crushed the box office of movies of the same period still affects this day.
And the box office on the first day was indeed the same, with "The Truman Show" leading the way.
But I didn't expect that just overnight, the box office would experience a shocking turnaround.
Although the film schedule of "Arhat" is 10% more than that of "The Truman Show", this is not an absolute reason.
In the eyes of many people, since "The Truman" can crush "Dragon" on the first day with a 13% difference in film schedules, this trend will inevitably follow in the future.
But unexpectedly, the gap suddenly changed.
The unrivaled influence that Li Qing had built since "Journey to the West" suddenly collapsed at this moment.
The eyes of many experts in the industry suddenly brightened up. It turned out that Li Qing was not invincible, so they began to denigrate "The Truman Show" as boring and worthy of its name, in order to gain attention.
Public opinion gradually began to spread its influence on "Arhat Subduing the Dragon".
In the box office statistics on the third day, the box office of "The Truman Show" reached 2.36 million, with a cumulative box office of 6.08 million, and "Arhat" reached 2.51 million, with a cumulative box office of 6.23 million...
"There are a large number of "Arhat Who Subdues the Dragon" trolls appearing on the Internet."
When he received the call from Gu Xiaohong, Wang Rui's eyes jumped.
Wang Rui is a professional manager hired by Hanhai through a headhunting company. He is extremely capable and has an extraordinary reputation in the industry. After taking office as the general manager of Legendary Pictures, he successively ran "Westward Journey", "The Truman Show", "Can't Tell"
The workings of the three films of "The Secret".
The investment of up to 100 million in "The Truman Show" frightened Wang Rui, but he also had high hopes for it.
At first, Wang Rui was very satisfied with the current box office trend, but until now, Wang Rui felt that he seemed to be a little too idealistic. Last year, Phantom Technology's navy plan made "Westward Journey" reach the altar in one fell swoop, but now, unexpectedly,
Some people have also begun to cultivate Internet trolls, and have begun to praise "Arhat" on Weibo and major forums, believing that it created a new modern martial arts movie Yunyun.
Although the big boss had long anticipated the arrival of this day, he didn't come early or late, but he came at this critical time, which made Wang Rui very depressed.
What depresses Wang Rui the most is that because the relevant departments have said hello, Phantom Technology cannot use any means to block the accounts of these trolls...
Therefore, at this stage, we can only leave it to fate.
But the more he thought about it, the more Wang Rui felt it was unfair, because the media at this stage are all touting the box office performance of "Arhat: The Dragon."
If it's fair competition, of course he has nothing to say.
However, under the exaggeration of the media, the audience only saw that "Arhat" counterattacked "The Truman Show" at the box office, and then became interested in "Arhat". However, in fact, there is a 10% gap in film schedule between the two.
And the nearly 4% difference in attendance, why didn’t these reporters mention it?
